    Thanks man! I'm in the Dayton area so C-bus is pretty far out. The Targets around here are pretty crap for stocking Neca stuff, except for Godzilla lately.
    As far as TF news, no ER at the Beavercreek Walmart today. There were several G1 astrotrains and some decent studio series including a couple soundwaves, movie 1 megs, and mixmasters. I'm not even really a bayverse guy but man that soundwave is an awesome figure! I keep seeing posts about Walmarts getting ER deluxes and voyagers, but Dayton hasn't got anything yet as far as I've seen. Probably for the best anyway since I'm going to try and make it out to the Toy Dept's new store in the next couple weeks and spend some cash there.

    Are you going there? I’d like to know how much they are asking for ultimate cobra commander. I seen it in their pictures on Facebook but couldn’t see the price of him.

    I won't be able to make it up there until next week sometime, unfortunately. It looks like @Galaxius84 has you covered, though!

    It was without a doubt packed. The line was basically the full length of the store. It took me like 30 mins to check out lol. I’m hoping that the Fort Max will still be there Friday as well as a gift I’m going to get for my dad

    Just a heads up, watch your legs on Soundbarrier, I didn't see any signs of stress or problems, but one of them sheered clean off at the ball joint.

    They may have had some but to be completely honest I don’t even know what that is so I wouldn’t have known. Sorry mate

    Btw, does anyone have TR Fort Max and if so what are your thoughts on him? I’ve seen mixed thoughts and I want to get Scorponok’s equivalent but I want to hear thoughts from you all on him since I have time to get him

    He's visually playing the part, and the top half is fully remolded, but the lower half is Metroplex, but gutted. If you can get past that, he's pretty okay.

    Cerebros and Spike are really nice. He can replicate the base and city modes pretty well, and he's nice enough for the asking price. He's not perfect, but he's okay. He'll look great next to Scorponok.

    I never had a chance to get Metroplex so the remold aspect wouldn’t be an issue for me. Think a sealed copy is worth $120?
